Английская Википедия:Elmore James discography
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox artist discography Elmore James was an American blues slide guitarist and singer who recorded from 1951 until 1963. His most famous song, "Dust My Broom", an electrified adaptation of a Robert Johnson tune, was his first hit and features one of the most identifiable slide guitar figures in blues.Шаблон:Sfn James' composition "The Sky Is Crying" (which became a blues standard) and his rendition of Tampa Red's "It Hurts Me Too" were among his most successful singles on the record charts.Шаблон:Sfn Other popular James songs, such as "I Can't Hold Out", ""Madison Blues", "Shake Your Moneymaker", "Bleeding Heart", and "One Way Out", have been recorded by several other artists, including Fleetwood Mac, Jimi Hendrix, and the Allman Brothers Band.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn
As with most blues artists in the 1950s and early 1960s, James' recordings were originally issued on two-song record singles.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn "Dust My Broom" was first issued by the small Trumpet Records label in 1951.Шаблон:Sfn Shortly thereafter, James began recording for several larger companies.Шаблон:Sfn From 1952 to 1956, he recorded for the Bihari brothers, who issued singles on their Meteor, Flair, and Modern labels.Шаблон:Sfn In 1957, he recorded for Mel London's Chief Records,Шаблон:Sfn and from 1959 to 1963, for Bobby Robinson's Fire Records.Шаблон:Sfn In 1953 and again in 1960, James also recorded some songs that appeared on Checker/Chess Records.Шаблон:Sfn He also played guitar on several recordings by other artists, including J. T. Brown, Big Joe Turner, Little Johnny Jones, and Junior Wells.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn
In 1960, the Biharis released the compilation, Blues After Hours, on their budget Crown label, which was the only album released during James' career.[1] After his death in 1963, his former record companies began re-issuing a number of his singles on subsidiaries and leasing them out to other companies.Шаблон:Sfn These various labels also began releasing numerous compilation albums, often with significant overlap in song selection.[2] With the advent of compact discs, this trend continued.[2] However, some box sets have appeared that collect most or all of James' recordings for a particular label or time period.Шаблон:Sfn The Chess,[3] Capricorn,[4] and Virgin America/Flair[5] collections also include some previously unreleased material and alternate takes.
Releases 1951–1963
On record releases, Elmore James is sometimes listed as "Elmo James", "Elmore James and the Broomdusters", and "Elmore James and His Broomdusters".Шаблон:Sfn
